I'M PEAKING

Should raves be 21+ only? Or are older ravers conveniently forgetting how young they were when they joined the scene? In Episode 96 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, the crew debates whether 18-year-olds really belong at raves, whether younger attendees are actually hurting the experience, and why so many ravers seem to hate 18+ events. We also break down the controversy surrounding Zingara and the Riddim community, the rise of sober raving, the uncertain future of Electric Forest, festival fence-hopping, and some of the biggest conversations happening across rave culture right now.
Are 18+ raves actually worse, or have older ravers just become the people they used to complain about? Let us know where you stand in the comments!!
We hope you enjoy this episode, and make sure to SUBSCRIBE for more unfiltered conversations about EDM, festivals, and rave culture every other week! 🔔🤍

In our 10th Artist Spotlight episode, we're joined by Gene Takviriyanan (aka SABAI) and Mike Hoang (aka HOANG) as they join us to reveal how their biggest collaboration, “Million Days,” was released while their friendship was quietly falling apart (and why they didn’t speak for nearly three years afterward). We also dive into how they eventually found their way back to each other, the future of melodic bass, the stories behind “Daydream” and “Lifetime,” and react to some beautiful unreleased music as well as some more viral EDM clips that you guys have probably seen floating out there.

We hope you enjoy this emotional damage of an episode! 💔

On our 5th episode of First Peaks, we're joined by melodic bass heavyweight, Jack Leech (aka NURKO) for an exclusive first listen to his debut album, Solstice (which is OUT NOW)! Together, we dive into the stories and emotions behind the music, exploring themes of love, loss, healing, hope, and mental health as NURKO opens up about the personal journey that inspired the album. From finding light after life's darkest moments to learning how music can help us process the emotions we often struggle to put into words, this conversation goes far beyond just the music itself. Along the way, we react to several tracks from the album, discuss NURKO's creative evolution, what it was like making his first full-length project, and why Solstice may be his most meaningful body of work yet.If you're a fan of melodic bass, emotional storytelling, or simply want an exclusive look behind one of the year's most anticipated albums, this is an episode you won't want to miss. 🤍 We hope you enjoy!!Link to buy an I'M PEAKING Jersey: http://impeakingpod.myshopify.com/Link to grab a BoomBoom (code IMPEAKING to save): https://boomboomnaturals.com/CHECK OUT OUR PATREON (for bonus content) - https://patreon.com/user?u=87212419LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST ON STREAMING PLATFORMS:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/04FSeasdwUWUPaF79ZrlGNApple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/im-peaking/id1644606726FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:I'M PEAKING PodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/impeakingpod/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@impeakingpodFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/impeakingMickie Santos (aka Wonderli)YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtcLLsKZiC0c1pEyHF5PpuQInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/_wonderli/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@.wonderliNand MahasuwanYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw0h80t2rgdz_hp4kmyCN2gInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nandmahasuwan/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nand.the.rave.dadFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/nandtheravedadThreads - https://www.threads.net/@nandmahasuwanDaniel Jun (aka Bassbaedaniel)YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bassbaedanielInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bassbaedaniel/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@UCWQ3hBeb8cu15UzM7HxIylg Threads - https://www.threads.net/@bassbaedanielNURKOYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@NurkomusicInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nurkomusic/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nurkomusicFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/NurkoOfficialX - https://x.com/NurkoMusic#ravers #edm #raves #impeaking #podcast #melodicbass
